Rat Fink and other "Big Daddy Roth" creations are now popular fashion accessories among beautiful people that don't know or care about cars or the culture that it was created for.
not that there's anything wrong with that, but it does make stuff like Rat Fink shirts more expensive.

Gene..... I have to tell you, I was trying to explain Gene to my "little brother's" at a car show last year, I turn around and he's standing there, and talked to my boy's for what seemed like forever, can't tell you how cool that was for me, one of the fathers of hotrodom and just talked about anyhting the boys brought up.

as a kid I wanted to be a car designer, right up till I graduated high school, Big Daddy was defintely an influence in that. To this day the coolest t-bucket car ever made for me is the Mysterion! Too bad the quality of the build was such that it basically fell apart within a year or so of being built. Someone has found the car and restored it though.
